cz550,
I used to mount scopes on a lot of 12 gauge shotguns for deer hunters. Most of the time they would have me sight it in for them. They were afraid to shoot their own gun!
I can't really blame them. I have a Ithaca 37 LAPD model with rifle sights on it. It kicks worse than the 8.5 lb .458 Model 70 African I had.
My advice is to shoot it standing up if at all possible.
Noone shoots dangerous animals from a bench that I know of.
The light rifles are nice to carry but beat you up bad.
The worst kicker I have ever fired was a 5 pound 20 gauge.
